Post a pic of your OG ride (but there is a catch!)

I don't think this should be in Car Talk....so In the spirit of the OG thread....I thought it would be cool to see the car that you had (most likely an Acura) and the car that you have now. I'm Thinking about Shawn S's blu blinger, Jesals TL and BMW, Astro's 911 and TL, Soopa's car right when he put the coil overs on....stuff like that.

My CL...which I miss....





My ride(s) now:

Yeah, well, I think the above is more than enough for a time period just hitting 3 years.

My 2001 CL-S from AcuraWars @ E-town. Strangely, this is the only picture I have of my CL as I never took good pictures of the car:



As a bonus, here is a little video of one of my runs down the track that day. I botched the launch so I figured I'd keep the throttle pinned to see how far I could peel out down the track. Gotta love lots of power and FWD:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_-dnp58lQA

My former 2003 350Z:



My current 2006 350Z:



I took this the day I received the car. I'm waiting until the warm weather returns and I can put my rims back on before I take better pictures.

All right, first off, here's Scott's original CL, in black:



Here's a nice MSpaint rendition I did when we first started dating :



Here' MY original car (complete with blxmjx's wheels that we discussed in the other thread):



Here's a couple of pics from a NoVA meet:




And I can't find a picture of my current car, but that's probably because it's a bone stock silver accord coupe, like every fifth car on the road.

Memories....on the corner of my mind.....!

Soopa's car with the chrome Axis 7mods and coil-overs is what made me start modding my CL.

This is my old CL-S the last day I had it. I am actually pulling it up to the shop that removed all of my mods. It was SAD day...


This is how you know I am an OG, This is the XEPHYR intake. Who remembers these?



Comptech headers...



Navi, that actually the VERY FIRST DVD on my Navi kit from the original creator, Steve Sterrit, yet more proof of my OGness!



Debadged anus. I was living in Houston at the time. I had a two bedroom apartment and 3 one car garages that I didn't have to pay for since I worked part time in the front office on the weekends...



I actually got this car at the same time that I had my CL as a project car. I sold it three years after I bought it with an additional 10K miles and I made $2G on the deal! It's a '94 Mercury Capri XR2 one of under 400 made...





Now that I am married with kids, I traded the CL-S in for a Mercury Mountaineer for the wife, took over her '95 Kia Sportage for a couple of years, and a year ago bought a '00 Civic for the gas mileage. Can't wait till she finish grad school, so I can return to RIDING IN STYLE!
